Motivation is a mysterious and at the same time very interesting world, in which all our actions and decisions are intertwined. To unravel the secrets of this world, we have invited three leading experts - Abraham Maslow, B. F. Skinner and Carl Rogers - whose work has left a mark on the history of psychology. They are ready to share their knowledge of how the reasons for certain behaviors are discovered. Abraham Maslow is a world-renowned psychologist whose research is now known in all countries of the world. He paid attention to human needs and formulated a theory about them called the hierarchy of needs. At the top of this hierarchy is self-actualization, which, according to Maslow, prompts certain actions, because everyone wants to self-actualize. We cannot refrain from defining it as similar to the fire that burns within us, enlightening our life path.
However, from the perspective of the great behaviorist psychologist B. F. Skinner, the perspective is different: outcome and feedback, as consequences, are the most important element in determining the future. If a certain action receives a positive reward, there is a high probability that it will be repeated. On the other hand, human motivation is a subtle process, not a mechanism that can be easily understood as reward-dependent: one of the defining developments of humanistic psychology and its founder, Carl Rogers, is personal experience, the perception of one's own existence. Rogers suggests that a person becomes motivated by living up to his or her own expectations. It is this desire that characterizes the self-disclosure and self-determination of a person who wants to know himself, to discover himself.
Our three experts believe that in traditional society it is almost impossible for people to combine these sincere inner desires. Therefore, the situation is not always such that a person can recognize himself or herself. They are driven by the desire for material values and delusions of external greatness, rather than the desire to find inner peace and true ideals.
Abraham Maslow again refers to man as society-oriented, which causes us to pay more attention to physiological needs and forget about our own path of self-realization. So what happens when we delve into our true motives? Instead of following our inner compass and exploring our authentic self, we often become wish-fulfilling puppets. Our true desires and aspirations hide in a maze of customs and expectations.
B.F. Skinner aptly equated this to a strategy in which we force animals to perform acrobatic tricks for treats.
However, we are not like that, and we tend to crave the soul we turn on. We can live lives devoid of purpose and anchor if we suppress it. Carl Roger warns that when we suppress our true motives, it leads to inner imbalance and even disorders. He offers therapy that introduces people to their own inner world and helps them discover desires and goals. Abraham Maslow adds with pathos that the path to self-actualization is not easy. Sometimes it seems like a mountain, and we need to affirm each self to discover the next peak. But once we reach it, we recognize our own self and feel one of a kind.
However, how can we help a person to self-actualize and find meaning in life?
Our scientists offer several solutions. First, education should not only give children such weapons as knowledge and experience, but also teach them to use them wisely.
Our schools and universities should not be factories pouring junk into the minds of students, but territories where they can discover their identity and their capabilities. Secondly, the workplace should be reused. As Max Weber argues, bureaucratic organization "has a future as a shell of formalism from which spontaneous flowers fall out." Work should be recreated in a way that does not remake people to fit the rules, but allows each to be different, to take initiative and, most importantly, to see the results of their contribution to the individual and to humanity. Third, there are many possible paths to self-realization. Each of us is a unique individual with our own unique path.
Each of us does not have to follow any one definition of success. Success is about unlocking our potential, and we all have much to discover. The humanistic approach to the psychology of motivation takes a sincere and open-minded look at how our motivations work. It advises us to look deep within ourselves, to recognize our true wants and needs and to live in harmony with them. This is what will help us grow as individuals and achieve true happiness.
However, we are not alone in our struggle. If society is guided by the principles of dependence and love of neighbor for the ideals of spiritual development, it can help us more than anything else. We must realize that within each of us are risks, desires and dreams. Our task is to enable them to achieve their divine purpose by creating a favorable atmosphere for the manifestation of real goals and interests. Education, career and other social fields are just stepping stones on the path to self-realization, and if we want to reach the pinnacle of courage, our outlook on things and actions must change. We must be active and uplift each other, for each of us will find not only inner fulfillment but also overall well-being by the end of the journey.
As one famous philosopher said, we are tiny particles of a big ocean. It is up to each of us to make waves that will change the world. Our motivation is a force that can move mountains.
So let us in unison unlock the secrets of motivation to unlock everyone's potential and make our world a better place. In summary, our experts conclude by stating the need for a revolution in the understanding of motivation. We must liberate our true selves to live our maximum and meaningful lives and rebuild a society where everyone can achieve self-actualization without fear or judgment. This is the only way to achieve enlightenment and collective progress.
